    What is Malarial Antigen (Rapid) Test?

    Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by microscopic parasites that infect and destroy red blood cells. The disease is transmitted by the bites of the female Anopheles mosquitoes. When a person is infected with malaria, the parasites can be detected in the infected person’s bloodstream. The Malarial Antigen Rapid Test is a quick diagnostic tool used to detect malarial parasites in the blood. It identifies these parasites through a rapid card test. By detecting the presence of malarial parasites in human blood using the Malarial Parasite Rapid Test, malaria can be diagnosed early to initiate treatment. As malarial symptoms are similar to flu, it is important to detect and start treatment quickly to prevent the illness from becoming severe or potentially fatal.

    Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) for malaria offer an alternative to clinically based diagnosis or microscopy, especially in situations when access to high-quality microscopy services is limited. Rapid malaria diagnostic procedures use immunochromatographic techniques for the identification of malarial antigens in peripheral blood. The majority of tests identify specific malarial antigens in blood samples using monoclonal antibodies.

    Malarial Antigen (Rapid) Test Parameters

    The Malarial Parasite Rapid Test consists of a single parameter: The Malarial Parasite Antigen. This test is used to diagnose malaria and monitor treatment progress.

    Malarial Antigen (Rapid) Test Preparation

    Consider these factors before taking a Malarial Parasite Rapid Test:

    • Prerequisites : No fasting is required for this test. However, if your doctor has ordered additional tests on your blood sample, consult a doctor for specific fasting instructions before your test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested : As fasting is not needed, this test can be done at any time of the day. However, it is preferable to get tested at the height of fever in cases of low parasite index.

    • Who Should Get a Malarial Antigen Rapid Test Done?

    Your doctor may request a Malarial Antigen Rapid Test after a careful assessment of your symptoms and your condition. This test may be recommended if you have symptoms of malaria, which include fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, and fatigue, especially after travelling to or living in a malaria-endemic area.

    • Cautions Before Doing the Malarial Antigen Rapid Test: There is no special preparation needed for the malaria test.

    Why Take the Malarial Antigen (Rapid) Test?

    A Malarial Parasite Rapid Test can be useful for the following reasons:

    • Diagnosis of malaria : If you have symptoms such as fever, chills, or other flu-like symptoms and if you have recently travelled to an area where malaria is common, a malaria test can confirm if you have malaria.

    • Early Detection : Detecting malaria early allows for prompt treatment, which can prevent complications and severe disease. Malaria can progress rapidly, so timely diagnosis is key.

    • Treatment : If the test is positive, appropriate antimalarial treatment can be started right away. The right medication can effectively clear the infection and reduce the risk of complications.

    • Health Monitoring : If you are in an endemic area or working in healthcare, regular testing might be part of routine health monitoring to ensure that any cases are detected and managed effectively.

    The Malarial Antigen Rapid test in Bangalore is a screening test to help with the diagnosis and treatment of malaria.

    Malarial Antigen (Rapid) Test Results and Interpretation

    The interpretation of your Malarial Antigen Rapid Test results is essential for diagnosing and managing health conditions. Interpret the test results as shown below:

    Test ParameterNormal Range
    Malarial Antigen RapidNegative

    If your malaria test results are negative, it means no malaria parasites were detected in your blood sample. However, this does not completely rule out malaria because parasite levels can vary over time. To ensure accuracy, additional blood samples are usually collected at the height of fever. If all these results are negative, it is likely that you do not have malaria.

    If your malaria test results are positive, it confirms that you have malaria, and your doctor will promptly prescribe medication. The choice of medication will be based on factors such as the type of malaria parasite, any resistance to specific drugs, your symptoms, medical history, and whether you are pregnant.

    The clinical and therapeutic context should be considered when interpreting any reaction test results. A correlation with the peripheral smear examination is to be performed when clinically necessary. Be aware that false positive results may occur in patients with dengue, antinuclear antibodies, or rheumatoid factors; hence it is recommended to speak to your doctor if your test results are positive.

    • My experience with Orange labs have been excellent so far. Have relied on their home visit for regular blood tests given that it is a case of dengue, and close monitoring of the blood count is essential. They are prompt as promised and the results too are available within committed time lines. As to accuracy of results, I rely on the lab certifications to give me confidence. Would have wanted a voice interface ( a number to call ) for a first time experience, and an ability to order for quicker reports (2 hours) for a differential charge. For the service delivered as published, it is a 5-star
